Loved the fact that it popped up in Google with the DOT form I needed, and allowed me to fill it out without any issues. The 7 Day trial is great and I will most likely keep for the year, due to the ease of adding in forms as well. Thanks

For pdfFiller’s FAQs
Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
How long does copyright last? Works created on or after January 1, 1978, are protected for a term of the life of the author plus 70 years. If it is a corporate author then the protection is for the shortest of 95 years from publication* or 120 years from creation×.
At what point does a work become protected by copyright?
To be protected by copyright, the work must be more than an idea. It must be fixed in a “tangible form of expression.” This means the work must be written or otherwise recorded. This is because a copyright does not protect an idea or plan: it protects the expression of that idea or plan.
At what point is an idea protected by copyright?
To be protected by copyright, the work must be more than an idea. It must be fixed in a “tangible form of expression.” This means the work must be written or otherwise recorded. This is because a copyright does not protect an idea or plan: it protects the expression of that idea or plan.
How do you know if a work is copyrighted?
If the work is a book, look for a copyright page. It is typically found on the back side of the title page. On older works it may be on the title page or on the last page of the book. If the work is a film or a television show, the copyright is usually included at the end of the credits.
What kinds of work are not protected by copyright?
Words, Phrases, or Familiar Symbols In general, copyright does not protect individual words, short phrases, and slogans. Familiar symbols or designs. Or mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring. Mere listings of ingredients or contents.
How long does copyright protection last?
All works published in the United States before 1924 are in the public domain. Works published after 1923, but before 1978 are protected for 95 years from the date of publication. If the work was created, but not published, before 1978, the copyright lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years.
What do copyright laws protect and how long does that protection last?
Copyright protection generally lasts for 70 years after the death of the author. If the work was a “work for hire”, then copyright persists for 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever is shorter. For works created before 1978, the copyright duration rules are complicated.
What happens when a copyright expires?
After the period of copyright protection has expired, a work becomes available for use without permission from the copyright owner. It is said to be “in the public domain.” Most works enter the public domain because their copyrights have expired.
